Frequently Asked Questions
Call Us TodayDoes my bookkeeper need to be designated or certified?
In one word: Yes. Having a designated or certified bookkeeper is very important, especially if you are a small business owner. You will most likely end up saving money in the end if you pay a little more for a designated or certified bookkeeper. With their training and experience, they will surely find any possible errors that might otherwise cost you in overpaid taxes, penalties, and high-interest rates!
If my bookkeeper has a designation, should I automatically trust them?
No. Make sure you know what designation your bookkeeper has and if they are the right one for you! Having an bookkeeper with a designation that is not specific to your needs could end up costing you more money in the end. Our bookkeepers are always certified with appropriate designations.
